Fodor's Expert Review Ovolo Southside

64 Wong Chuk Hang Rd., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong

For art and design enthusiasts, Ovolo Southside is a fantastic base for exploring the burgeoning Wong Chuk Hang enclave. Many galleries have left Central in favor of the spacious warehouse spaces on the Southside—all of which are easy to explore from this design-savvy hotel. Converted from a warehouse, Ovolo Southside mixes bold urban artwork, mood lighting, and friendly common spaces for a very cool industrial-chic result. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountains don’t hurt either. Guests enjoy lots of freebies, too: a nightly happy hour, Wi-Fi, minibar, and all-day coffee and snacks.
